So you’re left with a sort of halfway house between the best fan-pleasing content ever seen in a racer and the most disappointing. "There is also 1990s content, but you either need to buy the Classic Edition, or purchase extra DLC" The most notable omission is classic McLarens, which are not present anywhere in the game. Sure, you can have a 1980s Grand Prix, but this pits cars almost a decade apart in time against each other, as no one year’s license has been replicated in full. There’s nothing else like it on current-gen.īut while individual replications of classic cars are superb, unfortunately the same can’t be said for the collective.
